if you have been watching the news recently you will have seen the developing story of cambridgeshire police blaming increased crime levels on migrant workers. however, another report comparing the statistics of crime committed by migrants in cambridgeshire to other areas in britain found the numbers to be well below average.
i find it strange that a police force should be allowed to make these kind of statements whilst surely knowing full well that right wing racists, namely the BNP, will now have a field day with this sort of sensationalist garbage.
i live in an area where there are many migrant workers but most of the crimes reported in the local newspapers are committed by native british people after spending a night binge drinking.
how do the rest of you feel about this one?

Im not saying there right or anything... but the police being the police would have evidence to back this up would they not??

The building manager of my building is a ex cop.. and he says the same about bristols crime rate.

If you are referring to the crime in and around Wisbech i thought this was due to Pikeys?

you would assume that the police would need the right evidence to back this up, yes, but then they are not historically the brightest bulbs in the pack now are they?
i also assume that the migrants they are mainly referring to are the romany people from eastern europe, many of whom also live near us, for we are in essex, not far from cambridgeshire, and unfortunately the romany are also known stereotypically for having a blatant disregard for the law.
but as i said most crimes committed locally near us are not down to the romany. of course there will migrants who have a criminal nature, just as there are british people with the same criminal leaning, but i don't think that they should be singled out like this.

According to the local news they said theres thought to be 100,000 migrants in east anglia..im not surprised the crime has increased and i cant see it getting better either. The police are looking for an extra ?2million to help tackle this.
Its no wonder why people are listening to the BNP they have had enough of what was once such a great country how many more immigrants can we keep letting in and funding?

We have found that there has been an increase in road traffic offences like drinking and driving in our area. On one weekend exercise targeting drinking and driving almost 80% of those detected were of Eastern European origin. They still seem to have a cultural problem with not drinking and driving.

immigration is always the 'whipping boy'.
it is also a big vote winner for the government when they talk about clamping down on immigration.
yes immigrants commit crimes, surprise surprise, they are only human, though the BNP would dispute that one.
most immigrants however, are law abiding citizens who work hard for their living, usually doing the kind of low paid jobs that we brits won't countenance.
not long ago on this forum we were talking about binge drinkers breaking the law and young british yobs terrorising neighbourhoods. but of course we all prefer the lawbreaker to have a different coloured skin or accent , it makes us feel superior.
i wonder how our spanish and greek neighbours feel about the brits when we go over there on holiday and trash their laws in a drunken stupor.
yeah i know, at least we don't live there, and i'll bet they're bloody glad about that.
